New case report published on trigeminal ganglion stimulation for refractory anesthesia dolorosa. Rather than a binary “complete anesthesia + pain,” clinical nuance suggests a spectrum of deafferentation.

Thank you to @u2fp.bsky.social for the invitation to talk about the future of #neuromodulation for #spinalcordinjury So many good speakers and great ideas

🧪 Research Spotlight: Ziad Nahas, MD, MSCR, is studying how brain networks regulate mood in #BipolarDisorder & how instability drives shifts between depression & mania with PACE 👉 Goal: Test if targeting networks can improve mood & reveal mechanisms behind switches. 🔗 bit.ly/4gTbBwU

We are excited to be a part of this community to further efforts to understand and treat #bipolardisorder where we hope to bring biological insight back to psychiatry @umn-tc-aaup.bsky.social

This is the future. The reality of biological #psychiatry. We listen to the patient, create a personalized map of their brain, use algorithms to disrupt stuck networks, and adapt the stimulation over time while continuing our quest to understand those networks.

Alert!!!! “An Action Networks Model for Pain” We propose a new model for chronic pain — and highlight two functionally connected cortical networks that could revolutionize how we treat it. 👉 thread below 🧵 osf.io/preprints/ps...

We bid farewell to our amazing postdoc @xinyuanyan.bsky.social and congratulations on her new position with @benhayden.bsky.social @bcmhouston.bsky.social

Congratulations to our new #neurosurgery interns at the #universityofminnesota !

With a thousand people essentially choosing between slot machines, we were able to figure out that anxiety traits and apathy traits provide counterbalance pushing us to either search for better options or stick with what is working, guiding our decisions #universityofminnesota
